A former dancer turned Writer/Critic living in Ohio, I studied ballet and modern dance with Arline Ashton Hay, Robert Steele, Patricia Heigel-Tanner, and Kathy Short Gracenin.
In my six years as a ballet dancer I performed in numerous contemporary and classical roles sharing the stage with noted dancers such as Robert LaFosse, Antonia Franceschi, Stacy Caddell, Joseph Duell, Robert Wallace, Sandra Brown, and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
My writing credits includes articles and reviews on dance and the arts for The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, OH), The Buffalo News (Buffalo, NY), Erie Times-News (Erie, PA), City Paper (Pittsburgh, PA) as well as Dance Magazine, Dancer, Dance Studio Life, Pointe, Stage Directions, Dance Retailer News, Exploredance (New York, NY), Balletco (London) and DanceTabs (London)
I have a degree in Communications from The Pennsylvania State University and am Chairman Emeritus of the Dance Critics Association; an international association of dance journalists.

Hi Steve,

Hope you’re well and look forward to more of your writings!
At some point this week, your blog will be listed on my blog!
